Re: Grizzlies Pacers postgame thread

Paul is just at that point where his upside as well as his current level of play both offensively and defensively is SO dynamic that the only player I honestly feel like the Pacers would be better off with would be someone like Kevin Durant.

Sure, the Kobe's and LeBrons of the world are better players than Paul. I know this. But first of all, most of those players are punks who I don't want anywhere NEAR a Pacers jersey, and secondly, Paul is 22 years old!!!!

So yes, I will keep him over just about anyone in the league. If you disagree that's fine

Re: Grizzlies Pacers postgame thread

Watched the first half at lunch and listened to second half. Sounded like the best game of the year. It's a shame that it had to be at 1:00 on a Monday.

These MLK day games are annoying and weird. Why not start them at 5 or 6? Anything is better than 1...unless you're in school, you have work.

Regarding the game, it was great to see the Pacers take one on the chin against a playoff team on the road, and fight right back and get the win.

Green seems to have fallen out of the rotation, only 6 minutes today (And was terrible during them.) OJ has taken his minutes, and at the very least not hurt the team, and at times has hit some very nice shots. I don't see how Green gets any run when Danny returns short of an injury.

Wait. You seriously wouldn't trade Paul George for LeBron James if the opportunity presented itself?

I can officially announce my once-jersey chasing Lakers fan of a girlfriend is now completely sold as a Pacers fan. She missed the game, forgot about it, but is making me replay the game since it was on ESPN.

I think it's true love.

Hold on the that gal, she sounds like a keeper.

My wife the whole game about the ESPN announcers giving too much credit to the Grizz.

During the Playoffs and towards the end of the season....I fully expect that Vogel will shorten up the rotation to a 9 man rotation with OJ and/or Green only getting spot minutes when Granger/Lance/PG get into foul trouble.

I don't know if it's just a slow day at work due to the holiday, but that game was just on a different level anxiety wise. Getting that first win on a 4 game Western road trip is huge. Especially when it's against the toughest opponent. I know Utah, Port, and Denver are all playing pretty well, but if the Pacers can just get one out of the three, then that's a pretty good road trip.

Re: Grizzlies Pacers postgame thread

If the Pacers could find a shot creator I think they have a chance to beat Miami, Redick, Korver, Crawford(Wizards), Varea?

Redick and Korver aren't shot "Creators" and Crawford is a offense stopper. (Although considering the Pacers bench...maybe it wouldn't be too bad. But soon we'll have Lance as a spark off the bench.)

Truth is, the Pacers don't struggle to score points when they need to. They just struggle to score consistently throughout the game. (And their offensive statistics are skewed a bit because they deliberately slow the offense down.) Regardless, Hill is able to create shots, and PG is getting there.

Also, it's not that big of a shock that Hill, someone who isn't really a point guard, struggled with point guard related skills, against a good defense. He did last season too. Because, you know..not a point guard. He scored well though. Hopefully, he'll learn how to run an offense against good defenses by the playoffs.
